About Laurie

Laurie Siegel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 19 years of practice experience. She has spent nearly two decades working with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting concerns. Her work also includes attention to ADHD, LGBT issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and life transitions.

Laurie approaches sessions as a place to talk through what feels most urgent. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them identify strengths they can use to handle problems. Conversations focus on practical steps and changes that fit day-to-day life. She avoids jargon and keeps explanations straightforward.

Her background includes long-term work in community and clinical settings. That experience informs how she frames problems like communication breakdowns, anger, and career stress. She brings an understanding of complicated family issues such as adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, and attachment concerns.

Laurie also helps people coping with medical challenges, caregiver stress, eating-related issues, and the effects of divorce or domestic violence. For clients dealing with dissociation, abandonment, or control problems, she aims for clear, manageable strategies rather than abstract theory.

Sessions are practical and goal-oriented while remaining flexible to what arises. Laurie works in English and practices in New York as an LCSW. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

BHow sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Laurie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. One common approach focuses on building coping skills and problem solving for stress, anxiety, and day-to-day challenges; this approach helps break problems into manageable steps and tests what works in real life. Another frequently used method concentrates on improving communication and relational patterns, helping people notice interaction cycles and practice new ways of speaking and listening that reduce conflict.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work together. Laurie will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and what they bring to the first sessions. That joint planning helps make the time practical and relevant rather than theoretical.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity of care during life changes. Laurie and other licensed professionals will discuss the best session rhythm and setup that suit a client’s schedule and needs.
